Today
we are going to discuss immunization for children in the United States compared
to other countries. While every state has its own requirements for
immunizations for children but the government has an input on how everything is
handled. Most states give the parents an option on whether they take their
children to get the immunization but for those parents that choose not to get their
children immunized then those children are not allowed to attend school with
certain immunizations. The states feel that the immunizations protect children
away from the different diseases that can be a danger to their health as well
as others that come in contact with them.
Immunizations are not required in
other countries because they feel that immunizations makes the children suffer
childhood sicknesses. There was research done and children in the states are
more sick then children in other countries. The purpose is for us to keep our
children healthy so why would the government have a say so on why we do or do
not have a choice in our children being immunized. The illness that the
children in the states get is more recent than the children in other countries
that do not get immunizations.
